The Importance of Torque Control At the beginning of the year, we discussed the proper way to express torque units. This blog is going to discuss the importance of torque control. Torque = Force x Length this means the expression of lbf in or N m is the correct way to express torque. Those manufacturers […]
Load Cell Creep The band Radiohead has a song called "Creep", it’s a good song. Really good, it’s true. This blog post relates nothing to that song. In our world of load cells, there are three definitions relating to load cell creep. We typically discuss two of them in our force workshops; hence you will […]
3 Rules to Reduce Your Measurement Risk 3 Rules to Reduce Your Measurement Risk Bad Measurements Happen! Technicians are Fallible! The Wrong Equipment is Used! Almost everyone has had problems related to bad measurement practices—some of which have resulted in serious devastation. There was the BP oil refinery explosion in Texas, the Hubble telescope with […]
What is Measurement Risk? What is Measurement Risk - Imagine that a satellite is launched into space and communications are intermittent. This happens because the satellite is wobbling, which causes connectivity problems in the receiver. The cause of the wobbling is identified: it is the result of not using a calibration provider with a low […]
Does Resolution Need to be in an Uncertainty Budget? There’s a question I’ve heard asked more often than it should be: "Does resolution need to be in an uncertainty budget?" If the device’s resolution is digital—displaying the least-significant digit increment as a single digit from zero to nine—it is assumed that it somehow increments or […]
The proper way to express torque units is lbf·ft or N·m Morehouse will always make an effort to educate the masses on the proper way to express torque units. Looking at several scopes, manufacturer's specification sheets, and other sources, as a metrology community, we do not always express units of torque properly. Torque = Force […]

Calibration Intervals - When is it Time to Recalibrate? Since I became involved in the calibration industry in 1972, calibration intervals have been a common topic of interest and confusion. I was asked to write an article for the newsletter & blog, and after some thought, I determined there was no need. Many people have published excellent […]
